What Are Nerf Bars?

Nerf bars, also known as side tubes, step bars, or running boards, are steps mounted on the bottom side of your vehicle. They provide a step to assist in entering and exiting vehicles that stand a bit too high to access without a little help. Nerf bars mount easily in minutes with no drilling required. Nerf bars are strong, sturdy, and easy to maintain. They’ll give your vehicle the customized look you’re looking for with a practical purpose.

Get a Customized Look

If you would like to improve the look of your vehicle, installing Nerf bars is a great option. Available in different finishes including chrome, polished stainless, black powder coat, and aluminum, Nerf bars are designed to improve the outer appearance of your ride. They are also available in various styles including cab-length, wheel-to-wheel, oval step bars, and retractable side steps. The diversity of constructions of Nerf bars is intended to meet your particular needs. Not to mention all running boards are made to provide you a safe stepping platform when going in and out of your truck. Nerf bars can include logos, designs, and sometimes are painted brightly to catch attention and make the vehicle stand out from the crowd.

Style and Function

Nerf bars also provide other amazing features and functionality. Installing a running board makes it convenient for you to access your truck’s bed. It offers a third step for loading your cargo on the roof or utility rack. A Nerf bar can also be your ladder when you have to wash the deck of your vehicle. It also helps keep off grime and prevent dents on your truck while assisting children or elderly in entering or exiting your vehicle. For a firm and secured steeping surface, it comes with all-weather, threaded rubber pads.

Things to Consider

Before buying a Nerf bar for your ride, you should know your primary purpose. If you want to add a new style to your rig, sports tubes will work great. For enhancement and functionality, running boards with wide tubing diameter should be given some consideration. However, the ground clearance of your truck might be affected. The multitude of side steps varies significantly in thickness. If you have a lifted rig, there will be no problem. But if you have a lowered truck or sports utility vehicle, you may have clearance issues. And always remember that only full-size trucks can accommodate the huge 4-inches step bars.
